Brewers signed C Yasmani Grandal to a one-year, $16 million contract with a $16 million mutual option for 2020.

Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports says the buyout of the option is $2.25 million, so Grandal is guaranteed at least $18.25 million. Grandal ultimately settling for a one-year contract is jarring, but for fantasy purposes it's an excellent landing spot. No catcher has hit more home runs over the last three seasons and the 30-year-old is a great bet for big power numbers again while he plays his home games at Miller Park. Jan 14 - 3:54 PM

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Brewers have signed free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal to a one-year contract.

The deal is worth $18.25 million guaranteed, per Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports. And it is a stunner. Grandal reportedly turned down a four-year, $60 million offer from the Mets earlier this winter, but his market must have completely bottomed out after that. He'll take a one-year payday from the Brewers and look to put up big-time offensive numbers at Milwaukee's power-friendly Miller Park before hitting free agency again at age 31. Grandal posted a strong .815 OPS with 24 home runs over 140 games with the Dodgers last season. Jan 9 - 11:05 PM

According to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, the Mets had offered Yasmani Grandal a four-year contract worth $60 million before eventually signing Wilson Ramos.

Grandal still finds himself looking for employment after rejecting the Mets' offer, bit it at least gives some insight into what type of contract he's looking for. He may very well have to wait until the J.T. Realmuto saga plays out, as he'll become an attractive consolation prize to any team that is unable to land the Marlins' backstop.

The Angels were one of the clubs that was in on Wilson Ramos before he signed with the Mets on Sunday, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see them amp up their interest in Grandal now that the free agent market is thinning out at the position. Mon, Dec 17, 2018 12:05:00 AM

Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) told MLB Network Radio that he expects to be ready to go by spring training.

"That's the goal," Nelson said. "I'm on track to throw my bullpens like normal." Nelson missed all of the 2018 season with his shoulder injury, despite reports that he would be ready by midseason. He was the Brewers best starter for most of the 2017 season before picking up the injury on a slide into first base, and if he's back to that pitcher for Milwaukee in 2019, it's going to be a huge boost for the Brewers.

Suter's activation is purely logistical. The left-hander will miss most -- if not all -- of the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow in August.
